Letters P atcnt N 98,226, dated December 28, 1869; antedated December21, 1869. "I i IMPROVED APPARATUS FOR MIXING' AND AG'EING' LIQU'RS.V

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thesame.

To all 'whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, SAMUEL C. BRUCE, of the city, county, and State ot'New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in a Devicefor Mixing and Ageing Liquors, ot' which the following is a full, clear,andexact description, which will enable others skilled in the art tomake and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing,forming part of this specification.

The present invention relates to a new and useful improvement in adevice for mixing and ageing liquors, by introducing the said liquor,under a heavy pressure, into a couined chamber, behind` the dashers of'a r0- tary beater, which will dash the said liquor around the chamber,and into a second chamber, upon the flashers of a second rotary beater,and, finally, the' liquor' is discharged through a spoutin the secondchamber, after having the oily globules thoroughly broken up, and mixedin with the body of the wine or spirits, the construction and operationof which will be under stood from the follo\ ing description, in which-Figure l represents a sectional side elevation through the line :v x.

Figure 2 is a section of the saine through the line fr yrepresent twochambers, constructed of iron, or other V metal, or wood and ironcombined.

The liquor is fed in from each side of the chamber A, through theapertures C C, which are provided with stop-cocks, for the purpose ot'regulating the flow.

The said apertures are placed so as to conduct the liquor against theshelving portion ot' the arms of the rotary beater, directly behind thetappets D.

The beater in the chamber A is made to revolve at a much greater speedthan the beater iu the cham'- ber B.

lhus it will be seen that thc liquor contained in the iirst chamber willbe dashed, through the aperture E, into the second chamber, upon therotary beater contained therein, which, in its turn, will dash theliquor around, until it finally nds its way out through the spout F.

Having thus described my invention,

What l claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. The aperture E, formed by the cutting of the two circles, forming aconnection between the chambers A and l, in the manner and for thepurpose substantially' as described.

2. Feeding the liquor iu at the sides ot the chamber A, behind thetappets D, substantially as described.
